To add background sound to a page:
1. Right-click the page in the workspace and choose Page Properties....
OR
Right-click the page entry in the Site tab's Site Structure tree and choose
Page Properties... (or choose the item from the Edit menu).
2. From the Background tab, check Use sound file, then from the Open
dialog, browse to the sound file you want to add. Once the file is selected,
click OK.
3. If you do not
wish to embed the file, uncheck the "Embed sound file in
site" option.
If you choose not to embed your source files, we suggest you keep them
together in a subfolder named "Media" or the like. When you publish your
site, WebPlus exports and copies both embedded and non-embedded files into
a common folder.
4. To have the sound play back as a continuous loop, check "Loop sound".
Otherwise, it will play just once.
5. (Optional) Set Export Options to define an exported file name and
physical location. (See Setting picture export options on p.
129).
The sound file will download and play back when the Web page displays in a
browser.
With both linked sound and linked video, the basic question is how you want
the visitor to be able to trigger the playback of a given media file. WebPlus
offers the same basic options for both kinds of media:
• From a hyperlinked object or hotspot: You start with an existing object
in the site, and hyperlink it to the media file, or use a hotspot over an
image.
• From an icon: WebPlus provides an icon pre-linked to the media file.
You then position the icon on your page.
• From a picture: You select an external picture file, which WebPlus then
imports and links to the media file.
• Inline: A media "player" will be visible on your published Web page
(rather than appearing after the user clicks a link, icon, or picture). In
WebPlus, you'll see a marker on the page where the player will appear.
With the first option, the media file remains external and can't be embedded in
your project. Options 2 to 4 give you the choice of embedding the media file.
